Graduate Climate Conference COVID-19 and Flu Protocols
The Graduate Climate Conference (GCC) is organized by graduate students, for graduate students, in order to build relationships and increase understanding and collaboration across all climate-related disciplines. To accomplish these goals, the GCC is committed to the health and well-being of our meeting attendees, and organizers. As part of our effort to hold a safe and productive meeting, the GCC recommends all registrants to make sure they are up to date with their COVID-19 and flu vaccinations.
The GCC organizers encourage all participants who are feeling unwell to not attend the meeting to protect their health and the health of others.
Isolation Protocols
Attendees who feel ill or experience any symptoms of COVID-19 before or during the meeting should immediately contact the GCC 2026 co-chairs Grace Brown (gabrown@mit.edu), Lilac Hong (zhhong@uw.edu), Katie Webb (krwebb@uw.edu). We hope to provide an isolation apartment to allow said attendee to quarantine for the remainder of the conference.
Other Onsite Safety Measures
- Masks: We will have masks available on site during oral and poster presentations, keynotes and workshops.
- Hand sanitation stations will be available onsite for attendees.
- Self-assessment – If you are feeling unwell and/or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or Flu, you should not attend.
